WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4.
The coming of Spring is associated Ij the minds of
most people with house-cleaning and the general renovat
ing that makes the immortal words of Payne ''There'i
no place like uome" a hollow mockery and burlesque.
True, there is no place like home, at such timet, and we
are very glad of it. But after order has come out of
chaos and a man ceases to run the risk of death by lock
jaw from corning iu contact with the business end of a
tack while burning the colio bottle in the dead of a dark
night, "There is no place like borne" again metns some
thing to humunity and raau decides that after all house
cleaning pays.
It ia wonderful nhat a lot of beauty can be gotten
out of a few dollars' worth of paint and paper property ap
plied. And it doesn't take many dollars' worth either,
when one can buy paper as low as Co cents a tingle bolt.
Good paper, too. We have aa good a line of paper as can
be seen in Tiouesta, perhaps belter, but we'll let you
judge for yourielf as to that.
A word about paint: Unlike wall paper, low-priced
paint isn't cheap. In wall paper you get good value for
what you pay little or much, but there is only one kind
of paint that ia cheap and that is the best that can be
bought. John Lucas & Co. have been making paint for
a great many years. It may not be the only good paint
made but there is none better and you rre nM taking
chances when you buy it, as you are in purchasing paints
made by comparatively new and obscure manufacturers.
It is the only brand we keep. Color catda can be had
for the asking.

According to the Derrick's oil report
for March, 599 new wells were completed
In the Pennsylvania field. There are
1101 rigs up and wells drilling, an In
crease of 8 com pi o ted wells and 683 bar
rels of a decrease in new production,
with a net gain of 29 in new work. In
the Indiana and Ohio oil fields 389 wells
wore completed in March. The new
production was GOTO barrels and there
were 46 dry holes. At the close of
March there wore 783 rigs and drilling
wells under way. A net Increase of 119

The "sitting waltz" Is the newest fad,
and will doubtless lecome quite popular
wherever introduced. The following
"diagram" of the new-fangled hilarity is
handed us for publication, but we're not
going to say whether by male or female:
The young people who indulge in the
giddy mazes of the waltz will bear with
intorest that the heads of Washington
and New York society have declared
that "sitting out" a wall will be more
fashionable from now on than dancing.
The "sitting out" embodies the some po
sition as dancing the only diffeience is
that you sit instead of itaoce. The man's
right arm is around the girl's waist, while
bis left hand holds her right. Her left
hand is placed on his shonlder, while her
head rests lovingly on his bosom, and all
they have to do is to sit and listen to the
music. Now that is something like it. A
whole roomful of people sitting around
on sofas, hugging to mnsic, would be
"great," and not only so but this arrange
ment would give tbe old rheumatic
brethren anothor good chance to waltz.
And while many a man may looso his
appetite for dancing, he has to gat power
ful old before he loses his appetite for
that kind of a waltz.
An exchange calls attention' to tbe
great value of the grape belt along the
laky, shore as fallows : Pennsylvania
may feel due pride in Its productions of
coal, oil, and other wealth, but few real
ize another wonderful product the
growth of grapes that Is each seasou gath
ered from a narrow strip of country about
the northwest border of the state, includ
ing some New York territory. The Sci
entific American gives the immense total
of 135,000,000 pounds ol this fruit shipped
from these vineyards every fall, or about
two pounds for every man, woman and
child in the United States. It requires
about 7,500 cars to move the crop,
Tbe following from the Clarion Re
publican ia quite to the point and ex
presses the experience o' all: To those
who know that they owe money for this
paper we desire to say that with the
advance in the price of print paper and all
the other material connected with pub
lishing a newspaper, that we cannot car
ry subscribers on the list that do not pay
up. It is becoming necessary that the
subscriber square up all back accounts
and keep the account paid. Dealers in
material are not only advancing prices
but cut down tbe time limit. It will
soon be compulsory on all newspapers to
nlorce the pay in advance rule and tli
prospects are that it wid bo done soon.
There has always been an argument
between anglers and gunners, says the
Oil City Blizzard, as to the highest cost of
fish and game per ounce, figuring the
value of the time and actual expense in
curred. It is no unusual thing for an
angler to figure up his day's catch as rep
resenting $5 a pound, and wiien after
trout, 15 an ounce. Is said to be quite
common. Rut for the presetit season the
gunners are making a very creditable
start, the first return being a one -pound
duck for two guns a half day, down
French creek. Some people might think
game and fish dear eating at such cost,
but none but a true sportsman can ap
preciate the delight of eating the fruits of
their own gun and rod.

chasing, the choicest she could find, the
surprise will no doubt be as complete as
it is pleasing. Don't forget the days, and

Murderer Elder Commits Suicide.
Amos Elder, t ie murderer of his wife,
hot and killod himself last Thursday
with the same revolver with which ho
committed the loul murder on tho Sab
bath evening previous in Oil City, El-
dor was found lying dead in the Catholic
cemetery about half an hour after he had
fired the fatal bullet into bis brain. A
search of tho dead man's clothing was
made to make auro of his identity and
among the articlos removed watt a letter
addressed to Amos Elder, 64 Plumor
street. In his coat pocket were found
two copies of the Evening Blizzard, one
of Monday, containing a detailed account
of tho murder he had committed, tho
other of Wednesday, containing an -account
of the funeral services of his wife.
The body was removed to the undertak
ing rooms of Alexander, Peters it Wak
loe. It has since developed that Elder
was never away from the city. He was
at tho top of Harriott avenuo Monday
evening, having purchased a Blizzard
Ironi a newsboy named Kulms. On Wed
nesday he entored -McGuiga-i's livery
stable from Elm streot and chatted with
Mr. McGuigan. It is thought he was at
the cemetery at the time bis wifo was
buried, one of the daughters declaring
she saw him peering over the fence. In
the evening Mr. Molll'tt, of Siverly, says
he walked from that borough to the
Union depot with liim and talked inces
santly about the murder. About mid
night he called at the Central hotel and
registered a name that cannot be deciph
ered, but wrote Franklin in a fairly plain
manner. To the clerk he afterward ac
knowledged he lived "up on the hill,"
but it was too late to go home. He
stfeaked out of the hotel at an early hour
without paying lor the room. The ques
tion naturally arises, "Why was ho not
arrested T" This can be answered by
saying tliat the description given to the
police and newspapers by the family was
not accurrate. No more inaccurato de
scription conjjl have boen given. To be
Me to walk within a square of the City
Building in broad daylight and not be
recognized by ono of the several hundred
people he must have met seems almost
Increditable. He was seen to enter the
graveyard at about 12:30, and at 1 o'clock
the shot which ended his lifo was heard.
Sexton Canning while passing through
the graveyard at 1:20 found the body
lying against the O'Shea monument and
at once notified the police.
How John Yockroth Lost Ills Life.
The Tacoma, Washington, daily Led
ger, of March 19, gives the following par
ticulars of the drowning of John Vock
roth, mention of which was made in these
columns two weeks ago:
"John Vockroth, bridge-tender for Ihe
Northern Pacific at Hoquiani, was acci
dently drowned last night while crossing
the river. He attempted to walk a boom
stick a short distance to where his b'nt
was tied, when the log turned throwing
him into the liver. He was assisted to
his feet by his assistant, Aarou Johnson,
who accompanied him. Tho log again
turned throwing them both Into the
water. Johnson bung onto the log and
cal'ed for help, which happened to bo
near, but arrived too late to save Vock
roth. Mr. Vockroth was an old em
ploye of tbe Norlhorn Pacific, having
worked as bridge-tender siuce the road
was completed to Hoquiani. His wife
is a sister of the late J. B. Robinson, for
mer bridgo foreman, who mot his death
about three years ago in a similar man
ner, being drowned in White river, near
Kent, while coustructintr a bridge at that
place. Vockroth's remains were taken to
Tacoma fur burial Wednesday.

William withkrkli..
The subject of this sketch was born
near Old Lester, New Hampshire, May
7, 1816. When a small boy he came with
his parents west, as it wes then called,
into Genosee county, New York, to a
place called Little Rairdstown, where ho
worked on a farm till he was sixteen
years old when ho began rafting on the
Gonesee river. Later on he came to Por
tago, New Nork, where he met and mar
ried Miss Lydia Ninett Blossom. With
his older brother Frank ho shortly after
this moved to Porlville, New York,
where be lived till 1808. Sitico that time
he has lived in the neighborhood of East
Hickory.
For fifty-six years Mr. Witherell fol
lowed raiting on the Allegheny and Ohio
rivers and was considered one of the bost
pilots on either of these two streams, and
was known along the entire length of
these rivers. For very many years he
was in the employ of Wheeler A Duscn
bury in their lumber business, and
handled the first lumber tho present
members of the firm put on tho market.
Tho company always had great confi
dence In his ability and integrity. In
his earder days Mr. Witherell enjoyed a
wide reputation as a hunter.
Early in the forties, with his wife, he
made a public profession of his faitli in
Christ and has ever siuce lived a consist
ent life. In formor years he was Identi
fied with tho Disciples' but on the organ-
Zition of the Presbyteilan church at En
deavor he connected himself with that
church, of which hia three sens are also
members, and has been a devoted Christ
ian and deeply interested iu the work ot
that church. If it wore at all possiblo, he
always attended tho communion servi
ces, still saying that he did not know but
that each one would be the last. He loved
the Bible, the church, and prayer was a
delight In which he was often ongaged.
His last end was peaceful, breathing out
his soul in gentle sleep. Since the death
of his wifo in 18S3, he made his home
with his son Edward, where he answered
the summons to come up higher.
The funeral services were held on Sab
bath afternoon, conducted by his pastor,
Rov. J. V. McAninch, of Tionesta, and
the interment took placo in the East
Hickory Cemetery. Of tho seven cliil
dren born to Mr. Witherell and bis wife
only three are left to mourn his death :
Edward of East Hickory, and Emory
and Franklin of Endeavor.

A Great Industry Whose Growth and
Progress Are Without a Parrllel
In the History of Ihe Harvest -inir
Machine Business.
Among the great harvesting machine
industries of the world, there are none
mora conspicuous than The Plauo Man
ufacturing Co., of Chicago. It closed the
year 1899 with a remarkable record. To
meet the demand of its large trade, the
i in men so Piano factory was kept in oper
ation during the season 18!9botb night
and day, and to meet the requirements of
a largy increased trade of 1900, which the
popularity of Light Running Piano Ma
chines la sura to create, tha Piano Co'
have made extensive additions and im
prove - ents which have attracted great
attention and will be of interest to the
many fanners who are using Light Run
ning Piano Machines.
The editor of the "Dealer's Jornal" of
Chicago, who visited the great Piano
plant recently writes of the concern as
follows:
"Wonderful extensions and improve
ments have been made In the great Pia
no works In this city, which are nearing
completion. A four story extension has
been added to the west end of the main
building, stretchihg it out to a length
which seems half a mile. A large three
story warehouse with inci eased trackage
has also been addod to their storage and
shipping facilities. This building looks
like a huge cold storage warehouse, with
heavy brick walls and only a few small
windows, but this is a now idea in ware
house construction, designed to give
greater security against tire as well ax
m iking it possible to get more machines
on the sauie floor space.
The most important acquisition, how-
over, is a new malleable Iron foundry,
covering seven acres to the west of ihe
main plant. It is provided with the most
modem equipment for turning out high
grade malloables, and will give the Piano
people an important advantage.
This continual growth of the Piano
M'f 'g Co.'s business has a deeper signifi
cance than a mere investment in brick
and mortar. It means that Piano ma
chines are forging their way to the front
on thoir merits; that they are easy ma
chines for the agent to sell, satisfactory
to the user, and productive of a continual
increase In sales of Piano agents.
The P.ano business is conducted by
men who started In life as farmers' boys,
served their time as retail imploment
dealers, and climbed steadily all the
stages of expert work in the field and
factory, to the head of one of the largest
manufacturing industries in the world.
They have brought to bear in their man
ufacturing business an invaluable prac
tical experience by which they are able
to know just what the farmer wants, and
what tho dealer requires to build up his
business.
Piano machines are full of strong
points which intorest tbe farmer, aud
they are practical points which make
every machine iu the field a missionary
to bring in more customers. Lever
power is one of the most Important im
provements ever made iu the twine bind
er. The Plauo k Hotter, with less than
half the usual number of parts, has made
a record for accuracy in binding and for
durability that is the wouder of the
harvesting fraternity. The friction
clutch on the Piano reel saves breakage,
not only In the reel, but in the farmer's
feelings and peace of mind, aud helps to
make tho Piano the most popular har
vesting machine. There are many other
points in tho Jones Lever Biudor that
challenge comparison, aud altogether it
is not surprising that tbe company have
to hustle to keep up with the growth of
their business.
The Jones chain Driver mower is the
acme of simplicity in mowing construc
tion, a light draft, noiseless, smooth run
ning machine, saving power and wear,
and giving the farmer a long lived ma
chine. The adjusting lever in the Jones all
stoel hay rake makes It possible to ad
just the position of the tenth to all the
conditions found iu tho hay field, and is
a valuable improvement in hay rakes.
It is a wonderful seller.
The Piano-Jones Steel Header leads the
world. There are more of them sold an
nually than all others combined.
Tho growth of the Piano business is an
exemplification of the external and im
mutable law of commerce, that trado fol
lows the easiost and most satisfactory
path. The rainfall of an empire filters
through the soil and gathers in streams
and rivers, until it finally reaches the
channel ol the great Mississippi, and
through It follows the easiest path to the
ocean. In like manner the demand of
a million users ot harvesting machinery
lilteis into the channels of tho retail trade
ami gravitates to tho factories that turn
out the most practical and satisfactory
machines. The continual growth of the
Piano tmsinoss is merely an example of
tin gravitation of trado.
